US President Joe Biden stated that Israelis have not yet decided on how to respond to Iran after the missile attack on Israel.

Joe Biden commented on the escalating tension and missile warfare in the Middle East. Mentioning that they are evaluating sanctions against Israel, Biden expressed the need to consider alternatives to hitting oil fields in response to Iran. Biden stated, “Alternatives to hitting oil fields should be considered. Israelis have not yet decided on what they will do regarding Iran’s attacks. They will not make their decisions immediately; we will see when they wish to talk. We are evaluating sanctions against Israel. The best way to avoid all-out war is to bring our allies together to suppress it. We are in continuous contact with Israel regarding the response to Iran.”

During Iran’s missile attack on Israel, many cities were targeted with hypersonic missiles, bypassing Israel’s air defense systems and hitting multiple points. The effectiveness of the ‘Iron Dome’ defense system during the attack has been questioned, and the Iranian attack had a significant impact globally.
